Devin Lin 28f7224a5b gestures: Add optional gesture guide panel
This adds a gesture handle mode to the navigation panel, which can be
enabled during gesture-only mode. This reserves space for the system
gesture to be able to be used, allowing us to extend the height in KWin
of the gesture recognition area (which is currently far too short for devices such as Pixel 3a).

This also allows for navigation with a mouse; clicking on the handle
triggers the task switcher, holding it triggers the "home" action.

Plasma Mobile

This repository contains shell components for Plasma Mobile.

Reporting issues

Locations

  • components/mobileshell - private shell component library (API not guaranteed to be stable!)
  • containments - shell panels (homescreens, status bar, task panel)
  • kcms - settings module
  • look-and-feel - Plasma look-and-feel packages (ex. lockscreen, logout, etc.)
  • shell - Plasma shell package, provides implementations for applet and containment configuration dialogs
  • quicksettings - quick settings packages for the action drawer
  • tests - small runnable snippets that can be used to test parts of the shell without loading all of Plasma

Test on a development machine

See the documentation page for more details.

It is recommended to use kdesrc-build to build this from source. See this page in order to set it up.

Dependencies:

  • KDE Frameworks 6 setup (plasma-framework and its dependencies)
  • plasma-nano
  • plasma-workspace
  • plasma-nm
  • plasma-pa
  • bluez-qt
  • Milou (for search)
  • Kirigami
  • Kirigami Addons
  • feedbackd (optional: for vibrations)

To start the shell in a window, run:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland dbus-run-session kwin_wayland --xwayland "plasmashell -p org.kde.plasma.mobileshell"

Useful options:

  • Specify the --output-count flag for the number of displays
  • Specify --width and --height for the window size
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland dbus-run-session kwin_wayland --xwayland "plasmashell -p org.kde.plasma.mobileshell" --output-count 2 --width 360 --height 720

Device specific configuration

See /devices/README.md for more details on setting device specific configuration (ex. notches, screen curves).
